May be a wild goose chase -- but can't hurt -- could help...

Looking for all Khalidi / Obama / Ayers stuff

Thanks for helping if you have time....

[TruthWillWin]

Anyone know what the date of the event was?

[pnut22]

I think we’ve all been at it for hours. Best I can find is that dinner pic with Michelle in the beautiful orange jacket sitting next to Edward Said. For people so in love with themselves ,there aren’t a lot of photos to be found.

Maybe LA times has the article in past editions. Greta read the original story earlier tonite. Archives maybe .

[KoRn]

I was wondering about this exact thing earlier.

If it was on the web anywhere, it could be found if the site and the approximate date were known. I’m sure the LA Times aren’t the ONLY people to have a copy of this video.

[garjog]

I wonder if Khalidi has a web site?

Maybe someone could contact him for a comment?

Could there be pro pali web sites or blogs in California that reported on the meeting?

[RobinMasters]

2003.

[mylife]

Get the date on the original story, then face book LA Times Staff. Combine those names, date and story in a google or dogpile search

Would help if it was narrowed down to a date or even month.

Why search Columbia files? I thought the event was held some where (University of Chicago?) just prior to Khalida leaving for Columbia University.

Searching Khalidi’s Columbia email address might turn up some stuff.

[CaribouCrossing]

Way to go, NYC_BULLMOOSE! I’ve been searching but so far, no luck. Not giving up, but “bumping” this thread in hopes that someone will see it and give it a try.

[CaribouCrossing]

Perhaps you’ve seen this video before...but I’ll post it for those who haven’t.

[Azzurri]

I wonder if contacting Chicago-area videographers to see if they taped the event would be fruitful? Not sure how one would go about it, and doubt they would be of much help, but here's one...for starters: Sureshot Productions

TruthWillWin is right. From my understanding, it was a going away party/dinner from when he was leaving the University of Chicago. If anyone’s going to look, they need to start there.

I doubt it would be on CU’s site since he’s a professor there now.

[B Knotts]

I’ve looked for an hour or so, but can’t find it.

[B Knotts]

Correct. I googled all the stuff on uchicago.edu, but came up empty. There are a couple of other videos of this guy...but no video of the dinner that I can find.

[Enchante]

Just ask Khalidi himself — since it was his big send-off party when he was leaving Chicago, I’m sure they provided him with a copy for the memories..... and surely he will be happy to provide it to the media so that America can see what this is all about!!

If that doesn’t work we should just ask the Obamessiah — surely he can call for the video to be released and use his own influence to ensure the “public right to know” — a favorite liberal/MSM chant, after all!!

[diefree]

I found the same thing. If he was leaving Chicago to go to New York, I would think he’s leaving at the end of a semester.

Rashid Khalidi Photo: Another Questionable Barack Obama Friendship
by Jim Brogan

Rashid Khalidi is a friend of Barack Obama. In fact, Khalidi and his wife used to babysit for Barack and Michelle Obama. Why is that significant?

The National Review Online’s Andrew McCarthy has a great piece breaking it down. There is no doubt that it would be making headlines in the mainstream media if it were about a Republican.

Apparently, in 2003, the then llinois state senator, attended a party for Rashid Khalidi. Nothing too harmless right? Wait, it gets better.

Khalidi’s friends were seeing him off as he left his post as a professor at the University of Chicago to go on to Columbia University.
